Pretty impressive stuff..

Apparently it wasn't that windy either..

 

[Rhino_NQ]

heard stories of a bloke in the 20's/30's in the super league that could hit 75m drop goals. Pretty impressive stuff, would have been cool if he put it dead and got a dropout from a dropout

 

[ek999]

The ball did go dead

 

[BranVan3000]

French has a lot of talent, was a bit of hype around him in the Souths camp but he was let go because he had a heart defect and was advised not to play anymore I believe.

Hope he still makes it, and with no issues

 

[DeeJ]

I wonder who could drop kick further between him and Francois Steyn.

There was a French bloke that was a gun yonks ago.
My dad said he saw him when he was a kid.

Not 20's and 30's though .

Little bloke , fullback I think

Didn't Hazem El Masri kick a 100m goal from goal post to goal post on the Footy Show a few years ago?

Anyway, that was one HUGE dropout from French.

Pretty sure that was a joke about helium filled balls.

Yep, MythBusters busted that one.

The ball doesn't even follow a natural trajectory, its an editing trick.

 

[Brutus]

Any relation to former seagulls Brett and Ian French?

 

[The Phelan Folly]

Love how he turned his back on it soon as he'd had a look. Sweet.

He was known to not tackle a player if he believed it would demonstrate the fault of his team-mates for not previously making the tackle,[5] a cause of some controversy during his career.

:lol:

If he let the ball go dead it would have actually been a 20m tap, but because he took it dead it was a drop out.

The standard for miracles must have dropped quite a bit for a drop-out in a semi-professional, second tier game of a sport played seriously in two countries on earth to qualify.

I expect he'll get a call from the Pope soon.

 

[madunit]

Puig Aubert famously once replied when asked why he doesn't tackle

"There's 12 blokes on the field to do all that. I'm here to score all the points"

Some would say it's a miracle that some random old bloke gets hero-worshipped wherever he goes

Not at all. That's taken centuries of political manoeuvring, genocide, lies, and wealth mongering.
